Keren was the most important trading city on Naboo and a bustling mercantile hub. Planetary as well as interstellar traders could be found in the city, amid a wide assortment of (mostly) legal goods and products.

Around 32 BBY, Keren was the largest city on Naboo as well as the center of the planet's small underworld, notably Shep Contopault's and Hesh Verbon's operations. Due to several disappearances in the city, it has also been rumored that there was slave trafficking in and around the Kwilaan Starport.[1]
